When shopping for a pickup truck, most people have capabilities at the top of their shopping list. But, if you’re also looking for the safest pickup truck, then the solution to both issues is the all-new 2015 Ford F-150.

The 2015 F-150 Super Crew is the first pickup truck in America to earn a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The F-150 earned the top “Good” rating in all crash tests and a earned a “Basic” rating for front crash prevention with available active safety features.

These crash test results further emphasize the strength and durability of the new military-grade aluminum body. Under the aluminum body lies a core of smart engineering and a high-strength steel frame.

And, in case you do get in a fender bender, you don’t need to worry about increased repair costs. Ford does not agree with other organizations that say it will be more expensive to repair the aluminum-bodied F-150. In fact, Ford implemented an innovative modular structure to help simplify repairs and even found that real-world repair costs for the 2015 F-150 average $869 less than for the 2014 F-150.

All in all, with the 2015 Ford F-150, you will get the smartest, most capable, and safest F-150 ever. Come check it out today at Mangold Ford.

The National World War II Memorial officially opened in 2004. Unfortunately, this was nearly 59 years after the war ended, meaning many of the war’s veterans had already passed away or were getting to an age where travel was difficult. With this in mind, retired Air Force captain Earl Morse started the Honor Flight program.

This program sends World War II veterans to Washington DC so they can visit the memorial that was created in their honor. The trip is provided free of charge to the veterans.

Earlier this month, Ford sponsored an Honor Flight for Louisville veterans. The flight sent about 70 veterans who were all in their eighties and nineties to DC. They were greeted at the memorial by Ford employees and member of Congress. This is the third year in a row Ford has sponsored an Honor Flight for Louisville veterans.

“The service and bravery of these soldiers more than 70 years ago will never be forgotten,” said Jim Vella, president, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services, in a statement. “This will be the first visit for many of them to the national memorial dedicated in their honor. It is a small, but important gesture to recognize their tremendous courage.”

In addition to supporting the Honor Flight program, Ford and the Ford Fund have provided more than $8 million to veterans’ organization since 1974.

Here at Mangold Ford, we are proud to be a part of an organization that works hard to support our honored veterans.

Spring and summer are kitten season across the country. This means animal shelters become inundated with thousands of new kittens in addition to the cat population they already house. With this influx, shelters need loving families to adopt cats, which is why June is recognized as National Adopt-a-Cat Month.

If you’ve been considering adding a fuzzy lap companion to your family, consider adopting a new cat this month.

Consider adopting two felines so your cats will have company when you’re not home.

Give your new cat time and space to adjust to its new family.

Cat-proof your home. Don’t leave food out on the counter and pick up any loose items a cat might chew on. Get rid of any plants that may be hazardous to a cat’s health.

Once you’re prepared to add a cat to your house, visit a local shelter like the Peoria Humane Society to find a new furry friend. Or you can use sites like Petfinder to search for specific cat criteria. Either way, you’ll be heading home with a purr-fect new companion.
